[Saxondotnet-help] differences between saxon, saxon.net?

[Joseph L. <jl...@cr...>]

I'm having trouble figuring out why the following transform works as I
expected it to in Saxon invoked by JAXP, and from the Saxon.net command
line, but produces different results when invoked from an Asp.net
application:

Here's the xslt in question - the url is

=20

   <xsl:template match=3D"PropertyGroupSet">

               =20

                <xsl:variable name=3D"fieldNames">


                                <xsl:value-of select=3D"Property/Name"
separator=3D","></xsl:value-of>


                </xsl:variable>

                              =20

                <xsl:value-of select=3D"$fieldNames"></xsl:value-of>

                <xsl:choose>

                        <xsl:when

                                        <legend>


                                                <xsl:value-of

                        <xsl:otherwise>

The relevant section is the following PropertyGroupSet node with 2 name
descendants:

<PropertyGroupSet Name=3D"Author" PropertyID=3D"17">

    <Property>

      <PropertyID>5</PropertyID>

      <Name>LastName</Name>

      <FriendlyName>Last Name</FriendlyName>

      <Type>String</Type>

      <IsUnique>false</IsUnique>

      <IsSingleValueProperty>0</IsSingleValueProperty>

      <PropertyGroupSet>Author</PropertyGroupSet>

    </Property>

    <Property>

      <PropertyID>6</PropertyID>

      <Name>FirstName</Name>

      <FriendlyName>First Name</FriendlyName>

      <Type>String</Type>

      <IsUnique>false</IsUnique>

      <IsSingleValueProperty>0</IsSingleValueProperty>

      <PropertyGroupSet>Author</PropertyGroupSet>

    </Property>

  </PropertyGroupSet>

I expect that the $fieldNames variable will select both Name nodes in
this group; instead, it only selects the first of these.  More oddly
still, the xpath expression count(Property/Name) correctly returns the
value 2 here.  Property/Name[2] returns 'FirstName', as I expect it to.
Is there an error in my xslt that I'm not seeing?  Or is this an issue
in Saxon.Net?  As I said, this works fine from the command line for both
Saxon and Saxon.net, and invoked by jaxp in java.

On a somewhat related issue: I also had trouble with a couple of other
xpath functions: node-name() and distinct-values() both seemed to choke
the saxon.net processor, at least when I tried them.
